Prospect Potent Potables - Rizzo, Heredia, Odorizzi, Correa

Anthony Rizzo left his game early on Tuesday after sliding into a fence and injuring his knee, reports Danny Wild of MiLB.com. The injury is not considered to be serious for the minors' hottest hitter, but the Cubs top prospect is getting a second opinion from a doctor and could miss a few games.

After a long wait, Pirates fans are finally going to get to see Luis Heredia in regular-season professional action, says Tim Williams of PiratesProspects.com. Heredia, who signed out of Mexico when he was 16, will being his 2012 season with the State College Spikes when they begin play next week. He pitched in the Gulf Coast League last year.

J.J. Cooper of Baseball America says that Jake Odorizzi is the Royals most major league-ready pitching prospect and should be ready to join them in the majors during the second half of the season. Odorizzi has made five starts in Triple-A this season, striking out 9.1 batters per nine innings and demonstrating the same strong control he's displayed throughout his career.
